Everyone stared at them as they carried the stone to drop it before the supreme Alpha.
Mirabel's heart pounded rapidly as she watched the men lower the stone on a table before Lekhma.
Standing up from his throne, Lekhma walked down the stairs that led up to his throne. He stared at the stone and a low breath escaped his nose.
He reached out his hand and placed it on a round pattern in the middle of the stone. The middle was pushed inside and a colorless orb slowly emerged, floating in mid-air.
Everyone stared intently at it, as this was the first time some of them had seen it.
Lekhma turned to the maids that were holding the baby and ordered them to transfer the twin to the two men standing behind Rohan.
They nodded and gave the babies to the two men.
"I have given the two princes' names, and they answer Ileus and Adrik." Lekhma turned to his subjects and announced. He then fixed his gaze on the little ileus. "Since he came out first, he shall go first." The subjects nodded, and Rohan took little Ileus from the man standing behind him, then walked to the table.
He went down on his knees and raised the baby to the level of the orb.
The orb began to swirl around, and everyone focused their gaze on the baby and the orb. Seconds passed, and a dense blue light began to emit from the orb.
Everyone nodded their heads as they believed that Ileus did indeed have an Alpha's blood running within him.
Everyone clapped, and they brought little Ileus down, handing him over to the maid that was holding him before.
Lekhma smiled as he felt joyful within him and glanced at Little Adrik, whose eyes were wide open and darting around the hall.
"Bring him." He ordered Rohan, and he took little Adrik from the second man standing behind him, then walked to the table.
He got down on his knees and raised little Adrik to the level of the orb floating in mid-air.
Mirabel, who stood at her throne, stared at the orb and her baby with nervousness evident on her face.
Everyone gazed intently as seconds passed, but nothing happened.
Mirabel became scared and beads of sweaters began to fall from her back and forehead. Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall.
A minute had passed, but nothing had happened yet.
Mother Mary, who sat on the right side, frowned deeply as she couldn't understand why the orb wasn't working on little Adrik. I mean, in her vision, it was clearly shown that the orb chose little Adrik too, and he even shone brighter. So what exactly is going on?
The subjects began murmuring as they could already predict the despair that would befall the little child.
Lekhma's eyes blinked, and he took deep breaths. Well, it isn't his fault. He shook his head and ordered Rohan to bring the baby down.
Mirabel's body became motionless and she slumped down on the chair. "No! no!." She shook her head, refusing to believe that one of her sons would die.
Rohan, who had little Adrik in hand, nodded at the order of the Supreme Alpha and proceeded to bring the baby down. However, when he tried to, he suddenly realized that he couldn't move. His whole body felt like it was freezing and he couldn't shift nor do anything.
Everyone gazed at Rohan, who was still where he was despite hearing the command of the Supreme Alpha, and they couldn't help but glance at each other in bewilderment.
Mother Mary, who was sitting on the chair, instantly stood up and gazed intently at Rohan and the baby. She had already figured out that something was wrong.
She turned her head to glance at Mirabel and nodded as she smiled at her.
Lekhma's brow creased at the sight of this, and he ordered Rohan to bring the baby down once again. But Rohan parted his lips and stated that he couldn't move and that his body was being held still by something.
Everyone fluttered their eyes in disbelief, including Lekhma, whose brow furrowed deeply in confusion.
Thinking that maybe the orb must be the problem, he decided to shut it down. So he placed his hands on the circle pattern to push it open, but the stone began to shake, and before any of them could contemplate what would happen, a great force from the stone swept everywhere, sending both Lekhma and Rohan flying.
Lekhma held his ground, resulting in him not hitting anything, both Rohan flew back, crashing onto the stone wall.
Everyone gasped and slowly turned their heads to see little Adrik floating in mid-air above the orb.
Lekhma's eyes dilated, including the others' when they saw the orb beneath the baby emitting a bright light that outshone the dense light during little Ileus time.
Mirabel slowly stood up from the chair and began to walk down the stairs with her eyes fixed on little Adrik. She stood beside Lekhma as she gazed intently at little Adrik.
'What is going on?' Natasha thought and sat up on her throne when she saw the light emitting from the orb becoming brighter and brighter.
Everyone's eyes bulged as they saw the blue miracle becoming bigger and bigger, shining brighter and brighter, and they couldn't help but begin to take steps back, including Lekhma, who grabbed Mirabel by the wrist, dragging her back with her.
However, before they could take four steps back, the power within the orb burst forth, sweeping around the entire hall, causing them all to fall to the ground with their eyes tightly shut to avoid going blind.
Mother Mary was the only one standing with a wide smile on her lips. She knelt and bowed down before the Little Adrik, who was floating in mid-air.
Through the window, one could see the full moon that had turned from white light to a completely bright blue color.
The light swept across the entire pack, and the people who believed that a new alpha had been born went down on their knees and bowed deeply.
The strange phenomenon lasted for a minute before the bright lights died down, showing little Adrik, whose short baby hair had grown longer, stopping at shoulder length and floating around.
They all opened their eyes and rose from the floor to see little Adrik, and their jaws couldn't help but fall in disbelief.. Never in history has such a thing ever happened, and they are completely confused and clueless about what they would call such a manifestation.
